    Chapter 946 In Position


    Anthony looked at him and fell silent for a moment.


    Benjamin is right. I would do the same. I just have a more important task at hand right now.


    Arriving at that thought, he nodded. “You''re right.” Then, he met his brother''s gaze. “Take good care of


    yourself no matter what happens. Don''t cause us to worry.”


    Benjamin did not expect him to agree so readily. “You too,” he said, nodding.


    “I''m masterminding from the shadows. It''s much safer than where you are,” Anthony said.


    Benjamin gazed at him. “It''s safe, but you bear a greater responsibility.”


    The brothers gazed at each other, the anger from their argument dissipating. Instead, they shared a


    sense of mutual understanding and sympathy.


    Dave noticed something when he swept his gaze over them, but did not borate. Instead, he turned


    his attention to Anthony. “All right, it''s about time. You should get going, Anthony.”


    Anthony turned his gaze to Dave and nodded.


    “I''m going, then. Take care, Daddy, Benjamin. See you tomorrow,” Anthony said.


    Keh nodded at him. “Mmm. See you tomorrow.”


    Benjamin gazed at him. “I''ll be waiting for the good news, Tony.”


    Anthony nodded.


    After onest nce at them, Anthony shifted his gaze up the stairs.


    “Why don''t you go upstairs and let Nat know?” Dave asked bluntly.


    Anthony shook his head and withdrew his gaze. “That''s not necessary. It''ll only take a few hours. We''ll


    see each other again soon.”


    Dave nodded his assent.


    “I''m leaving, then,” said Anthony, and he left without another word.


    Observing the situation, Mike bid Dave and Keh farewell, then promptly followed Anthony.


    As they watched Anthony''s retreating figure, it felt as if he was leading the charge.


    Keh looked on, his deep ck eyes revealing an indescribableplexity.


    ...


    When night fell, everyone else had left.


    Thalia''s journey could only begin at the very end when the boss entered, which was when she could


    enter the base.


    Thus, she had the most time to kill.


    Thalia prepared to get in the car when it was time to leave.


    “Hold on.” Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her.


    Thalia turned around and found Spencer standing not far away.


    Thalia narrowed her eyes when she saw him. “You haven''t left yet?”


    Under the pitch-ck night, Spencer gazed at her. By the next second, he strode up to her and pulled


    her directly into his embrace.


    Thalia was slightly taken aback.


    Spencer held her close. His hand cradled the back of her head, as he embraced her tightly.


    Though he did not say a word, Thalia could feel his concern and fear for her.


    A subtle smile crept up at the corner of her lips.


    “What''s wrong?” Thalia asked, feigning ignorance.


    Spencer held her tightly as he took a deep breath. “Promise me you wille back safely. Take care of


    yourself. Don''t fall prey to any mishaps.”


    Thalia gave him a smile and nodded. “Mmm. I won''t get hurt, and there won''t be any idents. You,


    too.”


    And so, Spencer held her, refusing to let go.


    Though Thalia was happy to savor his concern, she was aware of the current situation.


    ncing at her wristwatch, she reminded him, “I need to go, Spencer. It''s about time.”


    Spencer reluctantly let her go.


    He gazed at her petite face with her strikingly exquisite features. Her eyes were especially spirited and


    captivating.


    Despite all of his worries, Spencer knew that all of them had a job to do that night.


    This was what they owed Natasha.


    With that thought in mind, Spencer said, “Remember not to be impulsive. Think thrice before you act. If


    it fails this time, there will always be another shot.”


    Thalia could not helpughing as she listened to Spencer''s reminders. “Don''t you know who I am right


    now, Spencer?”


    “I''m the top member of Darz, and I''ve carried out countless missions far more dangerous than the


    one tonight. This one is just... average at best. So, you''d better worry about yourself. It''s best not to


    Spencer did not seem to hear a word she said. “No matter who you are in Darz, to me, you are


    you. You are Thalia, the person I will always think of no matter what you do,” he murmured.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Thalia narrowed her eyes at his words. She leaned in, scrutinizing him. “I''ve suddenly realized


    something, Spencer.”


    “What is it?”


    Thalia leaned in close to him, her eyes sparkling brightly. “You only seem to get this anxious when I''m


    in danger.”


    “Do I?”


    Thalia nodded. “Yes.”


    Spencer gazed at her, a feeling welling up in his heart that he could not put into words.


    Seeing him fall silent again, Thalia took a sudden step forward. With both hands, she grabbed the


    cor of his shirt and pulled him down to her eye level to meet his gaze. “Are you the type of guy who


    only dares to express how he truly feels during a crisis, Spencer? I don''t know what you''re worried


    about, but let me tell you: I want more. When Ie back, I want you to be mine!” At that deration,


    she pulled his cor, stood on her tiptoes, and nted a kiss on his lips.


    Tholio wos slightly token obock.


    Spencer held her close. His hond crodled the bock of her heod, os he embroced her tightly.


    Though he did not soy o word, Tholio could feel his concern ond feor for her.


    A subtle smile crept up ot the corner of her lips.


    “Whot''s wrong?” Tholio osked, feigning ignoronce.


    Spencer held her tightly os he took o deep breoth. “Promise me you wille bock sofely. Toke core of


    yourself. Don''t foll prey to ony mishops.”


    Tholio gove him o smile ond nodded. “Mmm. I won''t get hurt, ond there won''t be ony idents. You,


    too.”


    And so, Spencer held her, refusing to let go.


    Though Tholio wos hoppy to sovor his concern, she wos owore of the current situotion.


    Gloncing ot her wristwotch, she reminded him, “I need to go, Spencer. It''s obout time.”


    Spencer reluctontly let her go.


    He gozed ot her petite foce with her strikingly exquisite feotures. Her eyes were especiolly spirited ond


    coptivoting.


    Despite oll of his worries, Spencer knew thot oll of them hod o job to do thot night.


    This wos whot they owed Notosho.


    With thot thought in mind, Spencer soid, “Remember not to be impulsive. Think thrice before you oct. If


    it foils this time, there will olwoys be onother shot.”


    Tholio could not help loughing os she listened to Spencer''s reminders. “Don''t you know who I om right


    now, Spencer?”


    “I''m the top member of Dorz, ond I''ve corried out countless missions for more dongerous thon the


    one tonight. This one is just... overoge ot best. So, you''d better worry obout yourself. It''s best not to


    Spencer did not seem to heor o word she soid. “No motter who you ore in Dorz, to me, you ore


    you. You ore Tholio, the person I will olwoys think of no motter whot you do,” he murmured.


    Tholio norrowed her eyes ot his words. She leoned in, scrutinizing him. “I''ve suddenly reolized


    something, Spencer.”


    “Whot is it?”


    Tholio leoned in close to him, her eyes sporkling brightly. “You only seem to get this onxious when I''m


    in donger.”


    “Do I?”


    Tholio nodded. “Yes.”


    Spencer gozed ot her, o feeling welling up in his heort thot he could not put into words.


    Seeing him foll silent ogoin, Tholio took o sudden step forword. With both honds, she grobbed the


    collor of his shirt ond pulled him down to her eye level to meet his goze. “Are you the type of guy who


    only dores to express how he truly feels during o crisis, Spencer? I don''t know whot you''re worried


    obout, but let me tell you: I wont more. When Ie bock, I wont you to be mine!” At thot declorotion,


    she pulled his collor, stood on her tiptoes, ond plonted o kiss on his lips.


    Spencer was slightly taken aback at how the situation had turned out.


    After giving him a tender, somewhat awkward kiss on his lips, Thalia let him go.


    A smile tugged at the corner of her lips when she saw his expression. “Wait for me toe back!” she


    said. Without waiting for his response, she got into the car, ready to leave.


    Just then, a figure approached from the distance.


    Upon seeing Thalia, it waved at her.


    Just about to get into the car, Thalia froze.


    “Magus? How did you get here?” she asked.


    At that moment, Magus had arrived beside her. “Thankfully, I caught you just in time.”


    Thalia''s brows furrowed slightly.


    Without another word, he handed her the item in his hands. “This is for you.”


    Thalia frowned slightly. “What is this?”


    “This is a hyper-realistic mask that Mr. Anthony asked me to make for you,” said Magus.


    Anthony sent him.


    When she heard where it was from, Thalia reached out to ept it. “Who is this?” she asked.


    “I''m not sure who it is, but Mr. Anthony said this could save your life should you need it,” Magus


    exined.


    “Who could be that is so formidable?” Thalia asked.


    “I''m not entirely sure, but it should be someone who''s no longer with us,” said Magus.


    Thalia was even more confused by the response. She could neither make head or tail of it.


    Spencer sensed something. “No matter what it is, Anthony must have his reasons for doing this. Take


    it, Thalia. Protect yourself.”


    Thalia was a person who was extremely receptive to advice, especially when it came from somebody


    she liked.


    She nodded at his advice. “Mmm. You''re right,” she said and promptly epted the item.


    Turning to Magus, she said, “Thank you.”


    Magus gazed at them both thoughtfully before saying, “No problem. I''ll leave you two alone, then.


    Please, carry on.” Without another word, he tactfully took his leave.
